Oxford Patient Handling Belt:
NOTE: For full fitting instructions, please refer to the user
guide supplied with each sling.
The Oxford Patient Handling Belt can be used to assist with
moving and handling tasks including assisted standing.
Position the Patient Handling Belt around the back of the
patient, ensuring the guidance label is on the outer side and
the elasticated section is at the top. Once the belt is in the
correct position, fasten the Velcro, ensuring positive and secure
attachment. Ask and/or assist the patient to lean forwards
before positioning the lower belt section underneath, towards
the ischial tuberosities.
In addition to fastening the Velcro belt, ENSURE the clipped strap is also firmly secured around
the waist.
Adopting a wide, stable base and using the side handles, carer assistance can be provided to
help the patient rise from a seated position.
